Your PhD step by step
The PhD journey: key steps along the way
A doctoral program is a unique intellectual and professional journey marked by key steps, ranging from initial enrollment to the dissertation defense, including the annual monitoring committee and the doctoral training courses - some mandatory, others recommended - designed to help PhD candidates acquire all the skills expected of PhD holders.
Each step of the doctoral program is designed to support doctoral students in carrying out their research projects, while offering them a wide range of opportunities (teaching, entrepreneurship, science communication, international mobility, sabbatical etc.) to prepare for life after the doctorate, thrive in their future careers, or expand their international horizons.
Finally, the defense and the legal deposit of the dissertation mark the culmination of these years of work.
This section guides you through the key steps of the doctoral program, detailing your rights, obligations, and available resources.
